Friendly Matched against Engaines Junior Chess Well done to all who participated with the friendly matched last Thursday 8th of March. Thank you Richard O'Brien (Engaines Primary School) for hosting the matched and for providing complimentaries to everyone. A big thank you to John Lambert and Melvin Steel for doing all the pairings. Our top 5 boards ( Asci, Zoe, Louis, Dominique and Mae) were all undefeated for both rounds and the other boards( Rezin, Eric, Malachi, Charlotte, Yazan, and Jana) have either won their games or made their games very difficult for their opponents to win. Overall, everyone seems to have enjoyed the experience. Thank you parents and grandparents for bringing your children and grandchildren at the venue. Also, I want to acknowledge the presence of  Clive Bellinger, secretary of Colchester Chess Club, who continues to support our juniors in the club.
